Supreme Court of Illinois

In the matter of a juvenile offender who was transferred out of juvenile court to be tried as an adult and subsequently pled guilty to attempted murder of a peace officer, the matter remanded for a new transfer hearing under a statute that was in effect before the new statute, later determined unconstitutional, was enacted. A challenge to the sentence alleging the invalidated statute provided an increased sentencing range is denied where this is not the type of claim that can be raised for the first time by way of a second postconviction petition.
